Two Months and Then I Graduate

Wow, I graduate in less than two months and will be leaving my high school.
And I did not edited the following pictures. :P

I have to admit my brain is still in the "Why am I stuck at school?" phrase while another part of it is in" I just wanna hang out with my friends and family with no work. Summer. Come to me. NOW!" For all you graduating senioristis -infected students, you know what I am talking about.

However, we know there will be the goodbye approaching. Sometimes I had felt the goodbye as a bit melodramatic or understated because when I have visited my alumni friends, they seemed a-okay. Seemed.

Why did I emphasized that word? Because I felt that even when two months are going to slip past by, we all are holding secrets and unspoken feelings from each other, and sometimes a few of those secrets need to be said aloud in order to have closure. But since we are procrastinators ( I recommend reading Why Procrastinators Procrastinate or watching the TED talk Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator), we often delay it by saying, "Next time. "

But when is next time? No one knows because there is much uncertainty up ahead. And most of the times, it is the uncertainty that drives us insane. Yes, we can ask our parents, teachers, older friends and more for advice, but their advice can only go so far if we haven't experienced it yet.

For instance, recently I have been getting out advice on how to approach a girl to a good friend of mine. Even though I was questioning why in the world guys at this young age would panic on talking another fellow human being, I do understand that it is scary to talk to someone who you want to leave a good impression on. After a long Facebook chat with my friend, I realized how the key of having a close relationship with any person whether it be family, friend or boyfriend/girlfriend, starts by showing how you care for each other.

I shall repeat those words in case you didn't catch that.

STARTING RIGHT NOW, SHOW HOW YOU CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER!!!!

It's so important, yet most people underestimate it because it seemed so simple. (Just like procrastinating. Muahahaha). Not only you make the person feel special, but also you strengthen your relationship with them. And even when there is uncertainty up ahead, you be confident that the memories and the feelings you two have would continue on.

Okay, I shall continue editing my UC San Diego wait listed essay. Wish me luck!
